Scribbr APA Citation Generator

Reference lists can be a daunting task. The Scribbr APA Citation Generator makes it easy for you to cite your sources in APA style. Select the source type, fill in the input fields and generate your APA citations.

You may find that you don’t have all of the information normally required for a citation, particularly if you are using internet sources. If this happens, just skip those fields in the APA Generator. The citation will be generated for you in the correct manner.

If you want to refer to a source that is included in another source, we recommend that you try to track down the original source. If you find it, you can then just cite it following the normal APA rules.

If you cannot find that original source, you should cite it through the source that mentioned it. This is called making an indirect reference or citing a secondary source.
